SINGAPORE's liberalisation of the electricity sector - true to its ethos - has been able to save businesses as much as 25-30 per cent in power bills, but many lament that they are confounded by the plethora of choices, be it in terms of electricity retailers or their myriad packages.
A wrong choice or misstep could in fact cost businesses - think penalties if businesses decide to opt out with a retailer before the contract is up or fail to meet certain terms such as consumption levels and so forth.
